The van Wijk lab are solving these biological questions through an interdisciplinary approach including molecular genetics, protein biochemistry, X-ray crystallography (through collaboration), mass-spectrometry-driven proteomics and metabolomics, as well as in silico systems analysis (e.g. mRNA-based co-expression networks). To support the proteomics workflow, the van Wijk lab has in-house mass spectrometers, an in-house Plant Proteome Data Base (PPDB) seamlessly connected to our in-house MS-data analysis pipeline;
